Over a certain age in England? Book your Covid vaccine

[Dave Davenport]

I can understand people being a bit apprehensive about it and wanting to give it careful consideration, but once you've looked at the evidence (not some rubbish on social media) I can't understand why anyone wouldn't who didn't have a clinical reason not to.

I had very similar with the AZ vaccine (headache was very unpleaseant), i wonder if asthma suffers show more side effects post vaccine?
Mrs N had her second dose of Pfizer this week & has had minimal symptons with either. From when I spoke to people, the AZ people seemed to have side effects more often.

My mum and my friend have bad asthma and after the Pfizer vaccine they only had a sore arm. I have mild asthma and only had a sore arm.

Looks more like a stall than a soaraway acceleration to me.

This was predicted - more about this in the NACA Covid Vaccine thread. NHS & support teams have been briefed to be ready for significant uplift from March 15 due to supplies coming back on-stream.

Oh probably. Was that not a sugar lump?

Plus measles vaccine, you must have had that.

Well no adverse reactions here so far, can't even tell where the needle went in.

Which one did you get AZ or Pfizer?

Pfizer

I should have said as an adult. I had some when I was a child.

Still not keen.

It's very quick, the needle is only inside your arm for 10 seconds approximately and didn't really hurt. It's a very efficient process. Literally in and out the door but if you have Pfizer you have to wait 15 minutes before going home.

Why not, what are you concerns?

Don't like taking drugs at the best of times and this one seems to have just been invented and fired out for use.

As I said, I've not ruled it out, it's just not something I've done or considered doing before.

Had my first dose of he AZ vaccine last Thursday (4th March).

My docs rang me with the appointment date and time last Tuesday and I just had to go to a different, (but still very local), health centre for it.

All done very efficiently and my only symptom is a bit of pain just at the injection site, which only started after about 48 hours. It's still a bit sore to press now but I'm certainly not complaining, I'd take that every time versus some of the potential side affects.

FWIW I'm 48. My Sister will be 54 in 5 days time but she's not heard anything yet, same town different docs, also rather annoyingly she's a teacher and will be back in school from tomorrow, go figure!. There's a woman who works at her school who's a foster carer, she's had hers because she was eligible due to having two foster kids, but she would have been eligible as a teacher despite working with 1200 ankle biters

That's really not the case. It's not my place to tell you what to do but please do some proper research before deciding not to have it as it appears it's just your gut reaction giving you qualms about it rather than anything concrete.

Don’t think so. Had the measles anyway as did most of the kids at the time.

Ah born in the 50s. As been quite a few vaccines given to UK kids since last 60s.
